I went to school with this guy and his younger brother in Tigard, Oregon! Great guy, great family.

[seanreodica]

it’s the same guy who prepared 12 different fish for sushi! I love how he seems a lot more relaxed in this video

[andyandy]

As a Japanese, I can feel his passion and his cuisine must be good because of his way of making tamago!!

[cgrm]

This guy flipped an omelet with chop sticks better than I do with a spatula

[nielcervantes]

Calling out the name of the sushi he makes sounds like they're bout to graduate

[JemInARock]

You heard him, people don't tell him anything about what he's doing. He just learn and watch. And it's just great that he have come this far!

6:09 Crab: "
I shouldn't have come"

[KEVINRENSON]

Legend has it. He even salts his toothpaste every morning.

[zjd]

I love how chill and knowledgeable he is, you know he loves what he does!

[mhk]

i am a simple man. i see a new omakase video, i drop everything and watch.

[mrKozmoz]

I really enjoyed the editing, but I can see this man loves what he does, he found his purpose and that is commendable

[felipefarhat]

Eater is arguably the most inspiring culinary channel in Youtube. Amazing guys.

[ajirah]

Why did I have to watch that at 1.30am, everything was fine up to this point but now i'm starving and I have a strong craving for sushis.

[anguaye]

Been watching lots of sushi masters on YouTube all are fascinating but this guy in particular is gifted...i can literally feel the taste just by watching the video especially the crab salad part

[dionarap]

I've just stumbled upon this video, because I searched for an easy Tamago receipe.
But then I couldn't stop watching. Someone who is so deeply concentrated and focused in the process of making tamago, creates an own aesthetic in his moves and the way he looks. Everything looks like a coordinated orchestrated movement for such a "simple" thing. Really impressing. I'm really sad that portland is so far away. I would really like to see this in real and taste the sushi they create. It looks very interesting and aesthetic.

[Tonyhouse]

As someone that doesn’t eat fish or sushi…I LOVE that eater features these awesome people that take such pride in their work. I come back to this video and others like it time and time again. I’d love to work with this guy.

*cinematic introduction walkin to restaurant*
Japan: "Itarashai!"
This guy: "Whatup dude"
XD

[pudicus]

“Chub mackerel...coming from...uhhh somewhere in Japan idk” lol

[wckyo]

I don't even like Sushi..yet I love this series

[NoName-vdrq]

There are levels to this game. His curiosity is commendable, but those calling him a 'master' have never seen someone like Saito in action.
